These two.  Jeff and Kelly have been together for a while. In fact,  I had the privilege of meeting the two at a family wedding a few years back and could tell even then that this day was coming.  The two wanted a wedding day that reflected who they were but it was most important […]

Nick and Emilie did all the right things.  They met on a canoe trip.  Nick picked her up on their first date in a purple convertible.  They hit it off right away.  They had nachos at their wedding (um, if you have nachos available, you get some serious points with me).  And they didn’t care […]

When I first talked to Laura about their wedding plans, they weren’t sure where they were going to get married.  Their local church wasn’t available, and Laura had hoped for a really lovely historic building.  After doing some research, I came across photos of Fort Street Presbyterian Church in Detroit.  It seemed perfect.

Kyle and Tara’s wedding day was on my calendar for quite a while.  Last summer, I had the best time hanging out around Detroit and shooting their engagement session. Sure, you should peek at them here.  They were at ease in front of the camera and had no issue showing me not only what crazy […]

Meet the Pattons. Josh and Nicole were married early this summer at Freewill Baptist Church in Ypsilanti with the reception following at Roma Banquet Hall.  I knew that the summer day was going to be a memorable event for all of their families, and I wasn’t disappointed. All of the details were hand lovingly done, […]
